Why does SharpV read parked vehicles beyond my intended capture lane?

Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced

Short answer

Check character-height limits and the recognition area.

Explanation

Genetec documents these controls when troubleshooting poor or unintended reads.

Things to check

  • Far-vehicle character height
  • ROI
  • Camera angle
  • Target-lane framing

What to do

Constrain the area and size limits to intended traffic, then test near and far vehicles.

Scope and version

SharpOS 14.6; 29 June 2026

ANPR Edge

Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.

ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.

  • Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
  • One license per location covers every camera
  • Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
